We have a slate roof that is leaking a bit (in the porch and a bit damp upstairs in one room). Bought last year and survey said was no major problems but might need maintenance in the next few years, as you'd expect with old house.
Got a guy out and he said the lead valleys have cracked, IHO because they have been made too large. They have been repaired with roof sellent but he recommended replacing with stainles steel or else it will happen again. My brother reckons this bollocks (he knows everything...)
Anyone had this? Or know whether the roof guy is talking sense? Also any idea how much this type of thing costs. TIA.
(Weather is very harsh here so we need something pretty sturdy)
